I also got a Suicidedoors.com notch, and Belltech drop shocks to keep things sort of comfortable.

In all honesty it rode pretty bad and I didn’t care.

Rocked the 5/3 rake for some time, I had to cut the rear leafs out due to rust.Got her down to 5/6, removed the stripes and waxed and polished it You can see where the axle used to hit the frame. It still hit after the notch...

Sticker Removal/Body maintenance
Shortly after completing the suspension I noticed the error of my ways in getting the paint work done at the used car dealership.

Most of the rust was coming back and the clear coat was peeling but if I kept up with the waxing and polishing I could make it look halfway decent while I saved for a respray by Casual Customs.

Pictures from an s10 meet soon after the 5/6 drove there full truck rubbed drive shaft the whole wayRemoved the Chevrolet from the tailgate as well, I had a roll pan ready to be installed during the restoI got wingless hinges and gun metal Irocs. The BMX LIFE sticker was a birthday gift

IROCS

The tires that came with the truck were fairly poor and starting to get tumours so I bought a set of painted IROCS with all seasons.

Winter traction was still terrible but they looked pretty good on the truck.

Truck made madwhips.com which I was pretty stoked on, this picture is from thereLow all year round

The system

The system is what really made this vehicle for me, I put a lot of time and thought into making this truck sound as balanced as I could and still be practical(ish) for my uses.

This meant my bike still had to fit in the back, and multiple bikes on occasion.

This is probably what I miss about the truck most as it was the only thing done 100% to my liking.

I spent a long time getting all these components togetherMy Neighbor and I designed the setupI modified the center console to hold my ipod and cross oversThe final product turned out pretty niceMy neighbor did the vinyl and I did the stenciling and paint of the stainless steel pieces

The Beginning of the end

By this point the truck had been giving me a bunch of maintenance issues (brakes didn’t work over 100 km for awhile, intake manifold gasket went, alternator/battery gave up the ghost, exhaust had half fallen off, CAA hit it off the roof of a parking garage, the list goes on and on) and at the urging of my family and friends I had actually put the truck up for sale for awhile because it was becoming a time and money pit.
